On Saturday evoning. Dr. A. M. Ney
tnan narrowly escaped losing his life.—
'The circumstances arc about these :
The Dector has in hU care a spirited
young horse bolonging to J. 11. Haines,
of Brady's Bond. The Doctor saddled
and bridled the horse, and led him out
for the purpose of taking a ride. On
.examination he found that the stirrup
straj>s were too short: he lengthened the
left hand ene and passed rouud to the
right hand one and lengthened it, and
without a thought of anything happen
ing, placed his right foot in the stiirup,
and before he had time to raise himself
into the saddle, the horse started at lull
speed, dragging tho Doctor some four or
five rods over the rough grouud and
stones of the alley, at the same time
tramping upon hi.n ; but, fortunately,
his foot came out of the itirrup just when
he came to a place where, in all proba
bility, the Doctor would have been kill
ed. He was taken up appcaringly in an
inseusible condition, llesioratives were
administered, his wounds dressed by Dr.
Bredin, and he is now doing well, and
is abltj to he about.

Extract from lit* Opinion In the Case
of llorle v«, Trott.
"On the whole, then. I am of opin
ion that the provision of the act of C'>u
gross of February 25th, declaring the
nutes issued in pursuance of that aet to
be lawful money, and a lega Jen-der,
IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
14 This renders it unnecessary that I
should consider the other question which
has been made, as to the effect ot the
special agreement to pay in lawful sil
ver money of the United States. I am
in favor of entering judgment for the
the plaintiff, but as a majority of the
court are of a different opinion, judg
merit for the defendant." Copied from
the Philadelphia Age of "23 d of Febru
ary, 1804, where the opiniou is publish
ed in full.
It may also be found in the Legal In
telligencer of March 18, 18G1 page 92.
In the same copy of the Aye is a
carefully prepared eulogy of the judge
and this opinion, in which is the fol
lowing :
"Judge SIIARSWOOD reasons upon
and decides the caso as if lie were sonic
lofty spirit sitting far above and out of
the contentsons and strifes of the world."
Will not the holders of greenbacks
and Government bouds consider the
judge as quite too elevated and etherial
for such earthly honors as a seat on the
Supremo Bench ?

WASHINGTON, August 8, 1867.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in a
recent letter to Gen. Spinner, says hold
ers of compound interest notes have nc
right to olaim payment theieofat ma
turity, at any other place than the
Trcusury of the United States, at Wash
ington, but in exercise of a liberal dis
eictioo, he has authorized the Assistant
Treasurer at Boston, Nt;w York and
Philadelphia, to pay these notes when
presented at these respective offices.
In doing this, the Secretary has done as
much for the accommodation of holders
as the interest of the government and
the convenience of the Department will
permit. The National Deposit Banks
cannot be authorized to redeem com
pounds, and charge to your account.
Gen. Spinner has issued the following
rules for the presentation of notes to the
Tieasury for redemption ;
First, Holders arc required to remit
such notes in packages separate from
any other notes or securities addressed to
the Treasury of the United States.
Second, Express charges on compound
interest notes forwarded to the Treasury
for redemption must bo prepaid by the
party remitting them.
Third, Schedules of note>s should be
prepared and seut to the Treasury spec
ifying denominations, dates, letters and
numbers contained in each remittance.
Fourth, As a safeguard to holders it
is suggested that these notes may be
cancelled before: forwarding them by
punching out both siguatureS, care be
ing taken to leave date and number un
touched.
Fifth, Payment for these notes will be
made by checks on Assistant Treasurers
at New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
San Francisco and New Orloans, or in
currency by express at the cost of the
owner of notes, or as the party remitting
may elect.
